Chapter 93: Chapter 93 The Price He Demanded

Moreover, Su Zixi was very clear that Su Guo’an was desperately pleading now simply because he had seen He Jingyao backing her up, thinking there was a profit to be made. He didn’t actually care about her as a daughter.

He Jingyao’s face showed approval. He had always thought this woman too weak, but now, it seemed she did have some spirit.

“I think this is good,” He Jingyao said with a smile, “from now on, Zhixi is my wife, not your daughter. Mr. Su, I hope you understand this.”

Su Guo’an opened his mouth, but he didn’t dare to argue, and could only nod his head, his face ashen.

At that moment, the bodyguard who had been searching for the urn came out of the room and stood by He Jingyao’s side: “Young Master, we didn’t find it.”

He Jingyao’s brow furrowed slightly: “Leave no room unchecked.”

Su Zixi bit her lip and tugged gently at his sleeve: “Jingyao, let it be. It might have been me who lost it when I was little.”

If they couldn’t find it now, it probably meant that her mother’s urn had been lost long ago. Although she was unwilling to accept it, there was nothing she could do at this point.

He Jingyao pondered for a moment. A simple search had yielded no results, so he might have to use other means to force them to hand it over.

He glanced meaningfully at Su Guo’an and then lowered his head to look at the woman beside him, his eyes gentle: “Alright, let’s go.”

Su Zixi’s eyes shimmered with tears, and then she nodded vigorously.

…

The Su Family’s gate was still lined with a row of luxury cars, looking very imposing.

Su Zixi suddenly remembered the first time this man had taken her away from the Su Family’s house, and she couldn’t help but smile slightly.

“Jingyao, thank you,” she said earnestly.

The man chuckled: “You’re welcome. It’s not without a cost to help you.”

Su Zixi looked up in surprise.

“Let’s get in the car first.” The man’s lips curled up, and he tightened his grip on her hand,

Su Zixi felt a bit anxious, the price this man demanded was almost never pure, was he going to take advantage of her again… always taking advantage of the vulnerable, it was too much!

Yet, her cheeks blushed unknowingly.

After getting in the car, Su Zixi found herself caught up in impure imaginings and her cheeks grew hotter… but He Jingyao was acting out of character and didn’t make a move on her. Instead, he took some documents from his assistant and started flipping through them quickly.

Su Zixi couldn’t help but glance at him, but all she saw was the man’s side profile, focused and serious…

He was really good-looking.

Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly averted her gaze, then slapped her cheeks firmly, telling herself not to have such wild thoughts!

A low chuckle suddenly reached her ears.

Su Zixi followed the sound and saw He Jingyao smiling, though his gaze was still fixed on the documents in his hands. She couldn’t tell for sure if he was laughing at her…

She cleared her throat and decided to take the initiative: “He Jingyao, today… thank you for helping me. If there’s anything I can help you with, just say the word.”

Her tone was very serious, very solemn.

At her words, He Jingyao indeed set aside the document, and pondered for a few seconds.

“There is actually one thing that only you can help me with,” he said slowly.

Su Zixi’s eyes lit up: “What is it? As long as I can help, I won’t refuse!”

As long as it wasn’t a physical repayment… Su Zixi thought bashfully.
